The Sure Shot Tele is like a dual focal length version of the Canon ML. 40 and 70mm focal lengths, slightly slower at 2.8 than the ML, it is big and clunky looking, but has surprisingly good ergonomics.

Greyscale, I really like your junkyard/rusted hulk stuff plus, your last three with the Minolta
Freedom Zoom of various shots of Fort Dodge. What an elegant old home. However, what impresses me also is that you've shot with maybe a half-dozen P&S cameras, and the images are tack sharp. Which leads me to wonder why anyone needs more than one of these cameras and some color film?

Thank you. That may be half a dozen in the last two weeks, dozens in the last two years. I enjoy using these little cameras, for a couple of bucks you can get excellent results as long as you consider the inherent limitations of the cameras.

You certainly get more artistic control with a rangefinder or an SLR, but for grab it and go shooting, it is hard to beat an AF compact. I generally have one in my pocket at all times. And I have found very few "bad" ones.
 
Greyscale, your appreciation for point & shoot cameras inspires me to actually use mine more often. Thank you.

Here's an image from my unassuming Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim with Superia 400.

Sometimes the vignetting is too much but I enjoy using the camera.
